Base UI is the next-generation unstyled library from the MUI team, designed to pair with Tailwind CSS: components ship with zero CSS opinions, TypeScript covers the API end to end, and patterns like popup, select, slider, and tabs come as both hooks and components with WCAG 2.1 accessibility out of the box. Built for React teams that want an enterprise-grade base with total styling control.
